Chapter 339 Autumn
Chapter 339 Autumn
With a certain distance between them, Wang Shuyao and Hu Yingxue couldn't do anything bad to Xiaocaoer, and the competition went very smoothly.
Maybe because the talent issue had some impact on everyone, Lu Linger's group scored 25 goals, Hu Yingxue's group scored 24 goals, and Xiao Cao'er's group also scored 25 goals.
Xiao Caoer's good luck continued into this game, and he scored ten goals again.
"The two groups with the same number of clubs are ranked first, and the other group with twenty-four clubs is ranked third."
"Does anyone have any objection to this result?" asked Mrs. Liu.
"No."
"No."
Except for the few losers who looked unhappy, everyone else had no objection.
"If everyone has no objection, the prize will go to Miss Ling'er's group and Miss Xiaocao'er's group. The remaining group of Miss Yingxue will have to write a poem each." Old Lady Liu announced the final result.
"In that case, how about asking each girl to write a poem? All those present today are young talents. Later, I will ask you to help judge which girl's poem is more outstanding." Old Madam Hu said as she slowly swept her eyes over the crowd.
Originally, this kind of blind date banquet was to let the girls show off their talents. Now this proposal was just to bring this stage forward a little.
In this way, the fact that Hu Yingxue and others were punished for losing the game before could be cleverly covered up so that it would not appear too abrupt and embarrassing.
After all, it would be a shame to lose at a banquet like this?
The wife of the Crown Prince of Duke Su's Mansion stood up and said, "Since everyone agrees with the result, does that mean our Miss Yang did not cheat and won the game with her own strength?"
"That's right! My girl hit the bull's eye with eight and ten arrows just now, and now she can still hit ten arrows steadily!" Mrs. Lu said with her head raised proudly.
"Since it has been confirmed that there was no cheating, then someone must have deliberately framed her just now!" Mrs. Tang echoed, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in her eyes.
"Hey, it's just a small misunderstanding. Don't take it too seriously." Old Madam Hu waved her hand lightly, but the smile on her face seemed a little unnatural.
"Madam, although you say that, this is just a misunderstanding, right? Now that the truth is out, shouldn't you apologize to my girl?" Mrs. Lu did not back down and asked Madam Hu while staring at her.
Hearing this, Madam Hu's face darkened instantly, and the smile that was originally hanging on her lips disappeared without a trace: "Humph! She is just a little girl who popped up from some remote village. How can she be worth such a grand apology? It's simply making a fuss over nothing!"
"Madam, that's not what I mean. Your granddaughter made a misunderstanding and ruined my girl's character. Shouldn't she apologize?" said Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Hu saw that everyone was looking at them, so she didn't know what to say. She winked at her granddaughter. Hu Yingxue felt unwilling, but she could only smile and apologize to Xiaocao'er.
The matter was just over.
The Master of the Prince of Liu State smiled and took advantage of the silence to speak slowly, "In that case, please show your talents and start writing poems and painting! When you are finished, please submit your works and we will appreciate them together later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the well-trained servants quickly took action. They brought out the tables and chairs and placed them neatly. Then, they skillfully placed the pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones on each table. All the preparations seemed orderly and well-organized.
At this time, the Crown Prince's wife lightly moved to the side of the old Duke's wife, bowed slightly, and then said softly: "My dear mother, I have to trouble you to give these young ladies a question."
After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, the old lady of the Duke of Guo thought for a while and soon came up with an idea. She nodded gently and said to everyone present with a smile: "Today's autumn banquet is in the golden autumn season. Why don't you ladies use the word "autumn" as the theme and recite poems or write with brushes. I look forward to your wonderful works."
After saying this, she looked at the young ladies who were eager to try with a smile, waiting for them to show their skills.
After hearing the question, the young ladies dispersed in twos and threes.
Su Yuwei and Lu Ling'er took Xiao Cao'er and the young ladies who had just played the game of tossing pots to the side to discuss the game.
